The Jordanian air strikes on Syrian territory, which resulted in civilian deaths, were met with a wave of unrest amongst the population of Daraa, forcing the closure of the Nassib border crossing in the early hours of 28 October (which reopened a few hours later following an agreement between Damascus and Amman to investigate the causes of the attack on civilians and coordinate on security matters along the border) However, the political de-escalation has not been sufficient. In retaliation, the tribes have called for mobilisation along the Jordanian border to “avenge the blood of the martyrs”. In response, today the Jordanian army has reinforced the border in anticipation of any possible developments. 🇯🇴🇸🇾
